P for Professional!
Just kidding - for me M for about everything in the studio unless its long exposure.

M if it's strobes, usually with shutter at 1/125. Hotlights I might go with Av.

Ditto. M for strobes. But if I'm out and about, then it's Av with control over the DOF.
ETA: I just realized that the title of your thread says "studio portraits" whereas your initial question only asked about shooting models. It was the question itself I answered when I said "out and about" because my studio usually isn't "out and about".

M all the time, every time.
never trust anything auto on your camera, there are so many things that can cause meter failure. snow, overexposure, model wearing black, model wearing white, low light, ect

That's what sucks about my camera, it doesn't have a professional mode :(
I use M when I'm working with lights, Av most of the rest of the time, Tv for panning and bulb for anything longer than 30 seconds.

Most of those just require you to know how to use the meter correctly though.

Trade cameras with me, you can use mine! :D
Bernard, I use T for long exposure, or sometimes M, but usually T

If you understand how your meter works, none of those things present an obstacle.
I typically use M with flash or studio strobes. Other wise I use Av or Tv as the situation and my needs dictate.
I do use P, but only when I had the camera over to someone who doesn't have a clue.

M when light is consistent and AV when it's random.
Does anyone know what those picture things are for on the dial :-)

It doesn't do it on my D200 but depending on the camera P mode isn't all bad.
On my D70 in P mode once you focused you could spin the front dial and change your shutter speed / aperture together. Kind of Av and Tv mode combined wile still giving you some control over your shutter speed and DoF. |
